From .the Second Edllionof Uie Sunday Journal. An Hlght-Lfaur Day to He Knforcel. N'KW Youk. April 10 Bradstreet's of today contains the following: Within less than a fortnight the American Federation of Labor, a body clain.ing about 6S0.0OO tnemners. promises to begin its campaign to secure the reduction of the number . of hoars which shall constitute a (lav's labor to be eight. It is of interest to know authoritatively just what the federation wants and how it proposes to go to work to secure it. Manufacturers, contractors, merchants and others will, therefore, tind the following official letter covering points vhich they are likely to want to know about at an early day. The president of the American Federation of Labor writes to Bradstreet's as follows: "Sir Sullicient notice havingbeen given to all contractors and other parties interested that on and after the 1st of May, 1500, the wage-workers afliliated with the American federation of Labor would adopt the eight-hour day as a limit of the day's work, it is now the dntv of the executive officers to secure the desired results with the least outlay of time and money. The history of the industrial development of this country shows that the eight-hour day cannot be much longer deferred. The campaign is on, the hosts have been marshaled, drilled; ammunition has been, and is being provided and the public sympathy and sentiment has been aroused, and the grand army of labor is ready for tho battle Meetings will be held in the preat centers of population, from Maine to Cali fornia. Cities whoso manufactures are established will feel the influence. Local speakers have beeu trained to the work. Each local union is a citadel of power, an armory of intellectual drill and a distributing agency for eighthour literature. Each international and national union is a grand division under able commanders. The Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, who have been selected to lead, are full of the enthusiasm of past victories. Kecruitsare joiniug the ranks by hundreds and thousands, and ulace3 that were unorganized aro rapidly coming under the shield of that organization. The men in shops and factories and in ail branches of labor will contribute to the success of the movement, and nearly a million of organized men and millions of others in sympathy are centering their Dopes ana their energies upon the one given point eight hours. Tho instincts of the people aro with us, and many eminent thinkers sustain us. "The plan of the campaign is to quicken this sentiment, so that when the hour of action comes we shall be found prepared. The union that has been selected to begin this contest has thousands working under the eight-hour and other thousands under the nine-hour system. In fact, the battle lines have been drawn, and if the enilayers in any large cities of the country refuse to adopt tho eight-hour day the carpenters will strike and will receive the apport of the federation to the fullest extent of its funds, and other trades will 6pen their treasuries to sustain them. 2iany of the employers are ready to grant the concessions, but are held back by the fower of their organizations, and other arge employers privately declare that tkey are holding back to see if the men mean business. The prospects of the building trades are good, and men of brains and money will not long persist in lighting the inevitable. The building contractors hase their hope of success upon their " ability to secure a sufficient number of non-union carpenters, and thus create a panio in tho ranks of the union men. That they will fail in this is evident, for two reasons: (1)' That nonunion men in this instance will manifest their sympathy with union men, and (2) because non-union men have learned that they endanger their own position when they become 'scabs.' The union men of other trades will not work on jobs on which. 'scabs' are employed. . VThe American Federation of Labor will Jiot scatter its forces, but will enter upon :the llnea laid down; trade by trade, city by city, town by town, it will move along over the whole industrial held. As war pro.TOkca patriotism, so the strike for eight hours will arouse all the latent enthusiasm of the union men. The non-union men not in sympathy will be held back, not by physical force, but by the . overwhelming influence of union . sentiment. - In some of the cities tho 'employers have forced the issu by locking 'Oat some of the craftsmen of the building trades, with the hope of defeating some of tho unions, and thus crippling the movement. The result has proven their unwisdom, for unions out of the federation are seeking admission, and unions that have bad but little interest in the eight-hoar; -movement are now among the most prompt "in sending in their contributions to the eight hour strike fund. If the buildinginterests are paralyzed because of the demands of the wage-worker, the employer will be responsible. The man who has his labor to mI1 has the right to tix the amount he will sell, and the price for which he will sell it, and having this right he can select his agent to make the salo for him. "The demand for eight hours has held a -.prominent place in the platform of organized labor for over a quarter of a century, and some of the trades have enjoyed its advantages for years. Amid th diversity of theories advauced tor the solution of the labor problem, the eight-hour movement has held its place as the measure nearest the heart of the laboring man. Every reduction in the number of hours that should constitute a day's work has beeu the result of the most persistent agitation, and almost without exception has been resisted with the same arguments that are advanced today against the eiht-boar day. The complaint that the builders and contractors cannot afl'ord the reduction is a confession they ought not to make. They have hadamplo time to prepare for the 1st of May, lb'JO, n:id they must have known that their refusals to concur with tho workmen would precipitate a strike, and they also know that strikes are expensive. The loss of time caused by a strike, even if it lasts but one month, will cost them as much and moro than they would lose by the adoption of the eight-hour day on May 1. If it was possible to starve the iiipu into submission, the jsduct would not bo much greater, oven if

as great, as the product under eight hours

cheerfully given. Men are stimulated to activity more from hope and cheer than from despair and fear. For the employers to involve all the industrial enterprises of the year by a stubborn resistance would bo a most stupid folly. Starving men of one class into submission to men of another class results in therepetition of the contest. Tle American Federation of Labor- has voiced the will of an intelligent organized constitueucy, and until the eight-hour day is gained no other question will divide or distract its attention from the main issue, "Samuel Gompkrs, 'Pres't American Federation of Labor." -As the 1st of Mav approaches the industrial situation tends to become more and more troubled. That this uneasiness is not local is amply shown bv the number and character of the disturbances reported, in Europe, as in the United States, there is discernible a general tendency on the part of industrial employes to 6ecure a readjustment of conditions and hours of labor, and of compensation therefor. In this country thebuilding tradesundoubtedly monopolize the attention owing to the movement for an eight-hour day to be put in force May 1. Already tho movement has taken actual shape at Chicago, Indianapolis and other centers. Chicago thus far is apparently tho center of the greatest disturbance. , So far this month (seventeen days) there have been seventy-five strikes reported, involving 21,542 strikers, and 19.000 rendered idle in consequence, whereas last year the total number for the entire month was sixty-one, and tho number of men involved was 12,193. Since Jan. 1 the total number of strikes reported to this journal is253.involving59.a31 men on strike, whereas last year from Jan. 1 to May 1 there were only 221 strikes, and 43,924 men on strike. Current Topics In England. Copyright, 1800, by the United Press. London. April 19. The agitation for the aboliton of capital punishment in England, prompted by the hasty execution of youug l)avies, has made but little headway. The average Englishman is a stout believer in the etlicacy of the gallows, and the day is probably far distant when the British isle will be without that ghastly instrument of justice. Indeed the condition of many, especially of the rural population, is so pitiable that ordinary imprisonment wonld re au improvement of thoir circumstances, and in the present stage of popular education the extinction of tho death penalty would be a most perilous experiment. Such, substantially, are the views held by all tho men of mark who have expressed themselves on the question, and yet it is worth recalling that, when burglary ceased to be a capital crime, one of the leading judges of Ensland predicted that a man of substance would no longer be safe in his house. The licensed victualers, as retail dealers in intoxicating liquors are called here, are beginning to take a part in elections very similar to that which they have for many years taken in the United States. This is owing to the circumstances that under recent laws the granting of licenses no longer r in appointed magistrates, but in electi uncila. The liquor-seller, therefore, hi keep his eyes open as to the charact t the council and his prospects for fa" tblo consideration by that body. The public house has always been prominent in British elections as a resort for tho discussion of policies and tho distribution of refreshments more or less substantial, but the victualer is now boginning to appear as a personal factor in political contests, irrespective of the revenue incident to election disbursements. Tho liquor trade apparently acts as if its members might at any time be called upon to join in tne common defense against the growing sentiment in favor of restriction. Both the Liberal and the Conservative politicians, who have sounded the London constituencies on the question of Irish home rule, declare that they are thoroughly convinced that a large majority of the electors aro in favor of the concession. Many of the latter party are, therefore, resolved to support a measure trranting the major part of the demands of Irelaud, but decline to discuss tho subject further until the timo comes for votintr on it. The attention of earnest politicians in London is fixed almost exclusively on social questions. Concerning these questions, the minds pf tho voters are not tully made up, and ail that tends to throw fresh light on the problems affecting the housing and feeding of the poor, public sanita tion, educatiou, recreation and the like, is welcomed by the great mass of the electors, who are eager to do what is right, but who are perplexed by the conflicting claims of sympathy and economy. This is a class of subjects that does not appeal to Mr. GladStone at present. His faculty of throwing his whole nature into whatever he has inhand. is balanced by a singular inability to attend to two things at once, in his mind, if nowhere else, it is trne that Ireland holds tho first place, and until the turn of home rule is disposed, no other political problem will havo any considerable share of his attention. Besides this, he is strongly opposed to state socialism, whether that term is used to express the doing by the state of what properly is the function ot the individual, or the taking by the state of private property for public uses. It is true that, in accepting the "lime-house programme," as it is called, Mr. Gladstone has gono further in a socialistic direction than his friends had thought probable, but be still regards with the utmost misgivings the growing tendency to invoke the Interference of the state in matters which have heretofore been left to private enterprise. The proposal of a scheme of land purchase tor Ireland has already stimulated the demand for similar legislation iu Scotland. With a view of doing something to satisfy this demand, a number of Scotch members of Parliament are soliciting tho support of other member, and have received assurances of aid from many Liberals, Nationalists and Radicals for tho billrecently introduced, entitled the "landpurchase." or Scotland bill. The purpose of this measure, to aid the crofter to acquire land and lo facilitate the sub-division of large holdings in Scotland. In the first instance, the land proposed to be acquired is not to exceed in extent five acres in any one parish, but it is a safe prediction that no very long time will elapse before much larger proposals will be made to Parliament on behalf of the crofters of Scotland, and possibly on behalf of the farmers of England as well. . "Jennie June Swindled. New York, April 19. Something more than a week ago a well-dressed woman went to the house of Mrs. J. C. Croley (Jennio June), No. 14$ East Fortysixth street, and asked if that lady was at home. Being told that Mrs. Croley was out she presented a card aa her own which bore the name of Mrs. Lucy C. Little, a lady well known in New York and Boston as a newspaper and magazine writer, and who is a valued friend of Mrs. Croley's. The visitor expressed much regret at not seeing Mrs. Croley, and asked if she might write a note. Seating herself in Mrs. Croley's parlor, she wrote the following letter: My Dear Mrs. Croley I wonder if you will hink a favor I havo to ask of you is an intraIon! I have so often done similar ones myself for fellow-workers, I thought I might come to you. I am obliged before to-uiorrow A. M. to make up a sum most needed. I could draw nothlux down town to-day, nor can I before Monday. Can you until Monday lend me twenty dollars, and keep the manuscript I have as security? It Is not a matter I can go to my publishers about, and I am sorely Sressed to settle it. I can send you early Monay morning an order on my work the week following or the money. The manuscript is worth 810, and mu.xt go to the publishers next week. This will be a cood Samaritan, deed, in any oaf e will you consider It confidential! Some how I feel as if you would understand my coming to you. I will send for an answer about 6 r. m. lours sincerely, Lucr C. Lillie. Mrs. Croley returned homo later in the afternoon, found the letter, and -supposing it to be from her friend, promptly sent tho money. When the day came for payment, she heard nothing from her, nor for several days afterward. Thinking that this behavior was very strange, Mrs. Croley sent to the number upon the visiting-card left by the woman, only to find that no such person lived there, but a number of inquiries and complaints of the same nature had come from other parties. Later Mrs. Croley learned that Mrs. Lillie was not in tho city. The woman is described as being very well-dressed, and good-looking, and of pleasant, lady-like manners. The matter has been placed in the hands of Inspector Uyrnea. An Unknown Hero. New York. April 20. Fifteen families, who occupy the live-story double teneniento. Nos. C3 and G Gouvrrneur slip and No. 374 Cherry street, were saved from EUtTocation aud death early yesterday - morning by an unknown hero and a crippled watchman named "Teddv.M who discovered smoke issuing from the cellar windows and alarmed the sleeping inmates. Jacob J. Will brock's grocerv store is on the corner, aud adjoining it, ou Cherry street, is N. J. Dee's butchcr-ebop. The lire was raging in tho

Merriiran and Dr. Curran, of Gouverneur Hospital, heard the man's frantic yells, and ran to find out what waa the matter, xney reanzeu, at a clance what the trouble was. and while Dr. Curran ran back to the hos-' pital for a fire key to send out an alarm Dr. Merrigau and "Ted" were trying to arouse the sleeping inmates. Lntrance to the building was cut oft from the Cherrystreet side, and they were studying out a way to get iu tho building when a young man whose name is unknown came along. He looked at the big clouds of smoke curling around the buildingand saw no time was to be lost. He grasped the meatrack which hung outside the butcher store, and in a moment was on the lower balcony of the fire-escape, kicking in the windows, and thus arousing tho sleeping occupants. From one balcony to another he climbed and broke the windows imtJ he had the whole household aroused. Meantime the engines and firemen arrived, and ladders were raised to take the frightened tenants from their perilous positions on the lire escapes and window-sills. The flames were confined to the lower floor and wero soon extinguished. During the excitement of rescuing the people, the young hero was lost in the crowd and nobody seemed to know who he was. His coolness and courage saved many people from death by suffocation. Death of Ex-Governor James Pollock. Lock Hayek, Pa., April 19. Ex-Gov.

"Ways of "Boodle Aldermen. SpecLil to the Indianapolis Journal. New Youk, April 19. The Fassctt Senate committee on cities resumed its investiga tion into tho affairs of the city to-day. Several witnesses testified as to tho uselessness of trying to obtain franchises from tho Board of Aldermen. The most im portant testimony was given by a Air. Colville and General Stone. The former testified that when be, acting with other gen tlemen, sought a franchise for.tho Harlem & Woodstock railroad, in 1887, he was told the board must have money beforo a char ter would bo granted. General Stone told of his efforts to get a charter in 1888 from the Board of Aldermen for the East-river tunnel, which application is still before tho present board. Ho said ono of the members told lnni that he would have to "bee" him (the member), and that he cou trolled sixteen votes. Witness said he presumed tne worn -see" was used in a "parliamentary sense." The name of the alderman was requested, and General Stone caused considerable of a sensation by naming Daniel E. Dowliug, vice-president, of the board. On cross-examination, however, General Stone readdy admitted that none of the aldermen ha 1 asked him for money, not even Mr. Dowling. The latter had only said that ho 'Stone) must "see" him, and advanced certain reasons in order to take the case from tho railroad committee. Adjourned. The Pope's Labor Views. . London, April 19. The London Herald this morning prints the report of au interview with the Pope. In didcnssing the labor question, his Holiness dwelt upon the necessity for improving the moral condition of both workmen and employers. He said that he intended to form a committee in every dioceso in the world whose duty it wouiuueiocauuieiouersiogemer on every fast day and rest day. and discuss their du ties, and teach them aud inspire them with true morality.
